Freesuns aims for a world in which power generation is sustainable, non-polluting and beautiful - where everyone can generate solar power without compromising the architectural integrity of their home. It has developed a range of solar tiles designed to maximize the photovoltaic cell coverage for any roof shape or style. The Freesuns Solution has maximum solar cell coverage for all types of roofs, particularly triangular or irregularly shaped roofs, generating maximum solar power. The tiles integrate into both traditional and modern architecture to ensure a stunning aesthetic result. The team provides a complete end-to-end solution including design, installation, commissioning, connection and monitoring. The Solution transforms roofs into income-generating assets, delivering an ROI and paying for themselves over time.

The Environmental Benefits

  • Can generate up to 164 Wp per meter squared depending on the choice of roof tile and finish
  • The average Freesuns roof generates enough clean power to save the carbon equivalent of planting 200 trees
  • A typical Freesuns roof generates more than 10 MWh of clean electricity per annum

The Financial Benefits

  • Freesuns Solar Roofs pay for themselves on average over 10 to 15 years
  • Customers self consume approximately 40% of their production and return 60% back to the grid so others benefit from clean power
